How to translate SIP Communicator

All current translations (even the incomplete ones) are available here: translations.

Copy messages.properties to messages_xx.properties (where xx is the ISO 639-1 language code of your language)
The file must use UTF-8 encoding
All entries are of the form key=translation, where only the translation part has to be changed. {0}, {1}… are parameters which will be replaced by the actual text at runtime, place them as you wish.
You don’t have to translate all entries, if an entry is not found in your translation, the text in messages.properties will be used
This character ‘\’ at the end of a line means that the translation is continued in the next line.

To start SIP Communicator with a language that is different from your system’s language, pass the language code to ant:

ant -Duser.language=xx run

The same rules apply to the properties files found in the other directories.
